You have to admit, your Aurora 9, like my older Futaba 9CAP, is a higher end radio that will have more capabilities and options than the 6L does.
Hydro, what the OP described is mode 1. Most mid range transmitters can do both mode 1 and mode 2. My A9 and your 9CAP by today’s standards are mid range sets. In fact this will be my last season with the A9. Currently looking/learning about the Jeti systems that offer much more flexibility. Nothing that a beginner needs however. A common misconception that more channels gives you the ability to add more features such as flaps, bomb drops etc. obviously you can do that but the additional channels allow the use of separate channels for each control surface that can then be mixed together in the TX while maintaining separate adjustments. This gives much more precise adjustments. The additional channels are great for giant scale that requires multiple servos on a single control surface.
